media: fe_property_parameters.rst: better document bandwidth
Use a table to document the supported bandwidths. That makes it clearer to readers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

- #. On DVB-C and DVB-S/S2, the bandwidth depends on the symbol rate.

+ Such bandwidth estimation takes into account the symbol rate set with
